The alcohol prohibition tried to ban the consumption of alcohol in the US. Although the ban was eventually reversed, it did cut down alcohol use by about 50%. During that period, people looked for other substances to use like marijuana which was consumed much more in response to the ban. The government can't stop #bitcoin, just like they couldn't stop everyone from consuming alcohol, but they can scare a lot of people from using it and that may have an impact on the price. Just something to keep in mind because no one knows what the future holds. I like slinging hopium as much as the next guy, but you better be prepared for the counter attack because, if it happens, that could keep the price down longer than we expect. And if half the people went to marijuana as an alternative during the prohibition, then it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the hodlers go to an alternative as well. How many bitcoiners out there already hold shitcoins?
